HARCOURT AND BIGGAR
Denounce the Action of the Govern
ment in PrOcIaImfng the National
League.
LONDON, Aug. 24.-An open air meeting
was held at Westminster this evening for
the purpose of denouncing the governments
action in proclaiming the league. Mr.. Biggar,
member of Parliament for West Cavan, de-
livered an address and was followed by Sir
William Vernon Harcourt. The latter quoted
Mr.. Chamberlain's statements of Saturday
that Ireland was free of crime. And yet,
continued the speaker, 'Messrs. Chamberlain
and Ceilings, who were opposed to coercion
after the Phoenix Park murders, counten-
ance coercion now when Ireland is tranquil
even without the local government which
they formerly insisted upon as an essential.
Mr.. Chamberlain seems to like the principle,
but not the application of coercion. I am
glad there is so much old 1eaven left in him.
He ought to have known that to give the
Tories coercion act with the advice not to
use it would be like putting tiger in cage
with a man and enjoining the tiger not to eat
the man. The government used the Unionists
as catspaw to pass the coercion
bill and now they treat their advice with
contempt and threaten to dissolve Parlia-
ment and annihilate the party if they with
drew their support of the government"
Referring to the secession of T. w. Russell
the speaker said: "The history of the session
for loyal Obstetrics ought to be frontispieced
with picture of the faithful Russell, who
was trotted out at the Carlton club by Lord
Salisbury as the bright star of Ulster and
who was finally clotured by Mr.. Smith. The
Unionist party is perishing by the process
of political modification. The gov
eminent have repudiated their advice
and the country has repudiated
their candidates" Referring to Lord Harting
ton he said he much regretted to hear that
his absorption by the Tory party had already
Harrington would be warned in time by the
sad fate of Mr.. Goschen.
Mr.. Gladstone, Sir G. O. Trevelyan and
sixty other Liberal members of Parliament
have promised to attend a Liberal league
demonstration at Alexander Park on Septem-
Der 5.
